[quote=Anonymous]My ex and I broke up during our first year at college so about 10 years ago.  He cheated on me with my best friend.  We were all teenagers and young and stupid but I was so heartbroken that I lost the 2 people closest to me.  I transferred to another college across the country my sophomore year.  It was a really good decision because it became so much easier for me to move on.  I decided not to move back to my hometown and my career opportunities have dictated where I live.

I went back home to visit my dad and I saw the ex for the first time since I moved all those years ago.  The really shallow side of me was hoping he would be ugly but he still looks good.  He approached me we talked for a few minutes.  He apologized for what happened and said it was a huge mistake.  I told him it was so long ago and that I should thank him because if it did not happen I would probably be stuck in the same small town and told him I was in a really good place.  He seemed kind of stung when I said that but it's the truth.  He asked me if we could meet for drinks and I told him I had other plans and told him good bye and went back to my dad.

Even though we were kids when all this went down an apology was nice to receive.  Him and my best friend completely changed the trajectory of my life and left me with some serious trust issues for a long while.  I made peace with my former best friend a few years ago and have been able to rebuild a friendship.

I flew back home and forgot about the conversation I had with the ex until he sent me a message on facebook.  He asked me if I was coming back home for any of the holidays and to please meet him for drinks that he had so much he wanted to say.  I'm not sure if he is feeling nostalgic or what his angle is.  What could he possibly have to say beyond what was already said.  I am not sure if I should even respond.  [/quote]
